AIM :

Introduce students to design of buildings with complexities related to services, structure and site

planning to accommodate more than one building on a site and help the students to evolve the

integrated understanding of the complex relationship between the form, function, context and

aesthetics in a building.

OBJECTIVES

1. Introduction to Campus design with reference to design development of campuses developed in

the past.

2. Integrating function, structure and services in a building, choice of structural system and

resultant effect on visual form / aesthetics of building

3. Development of building design program from client or user’s requirements and other social,

economic and climate context.

4. Managing a design project – Management of time, compilation, documentation, presentation of

information to others and self.

5. Labouring the design process, communicating the design.

6. Introduction to design philosophy.

7. Analysing multiple buildings to be accommodated within a campus and understanding their

relationship with each other in context to continuity of form, construction and materials, design

theme, climate, etc.

8. Analysing activities around the buildings within a campus and understand the same in context

to relation of built form and open spaces, elements of landscape, pedestrian and vehicular

movement, their segregation, managing sloping sites, contours, etc.

9. Designing of progressively complex spaces and buildings in terms of area, typology, function

etc, with emphasis on either scale or complexity of the project, or both. Complex of low rise and

medium rise nature, e.g. – Shopping Mall, Nursing homes / Hospitals with residences, Educational

Campus for schools. Auditorium for Cinema / performing arts, Museum, Small industrial complex,

Medium scale hotels and resorts, etc.

10.To study a location in a different socio‐geographic setting than the Institute, and document the

study done during in the tour in the form of a report with emphasis on relevant aspects like

climate, social structure, culture, architectural typology, construction technology, urban fabric,

economy, etc or any other issues which need to be considered for envisaging a design project in

totality.

11.To design in the context of the Location studied, with emphasis on all the aspects that would

influence the Design solution.

12. To understand various issues and aspects like sustainability, earthquakes, construction, barrier free

environments, etc. and study how these could be integrated in the architectural design process.

SESSIONAL WORK.

Design projects to be given as assignments could be classified into two types.

Type ‘A’ :‐ Long duration projects ( 8‐12 weeks)

These could be :

i. Project based on Campus Design with emphasis on site planning & relationship of built

regulations etc.

Either i or ii could be Issue based Projects‐ designing in the context studied and addressing various

issues of the study context like climate, social structure, culture, architectural typology, construction

typology, urban fabric, economy etc.

Type B : Short duration Project ( 1‐3 weeks)

These could be projects dealing with a singular aspect at a time, with emphasis on structures /

sociology/ sustainability/ earthquake resistant construction/ specialized services / adaptive reuse of

buildings / façade design / interiors / industrial building / barrier free environment or any other

appropriate aspect

At least one project of type ‘A’ and one project of type ‘B’ to be taken up in a term.

ƒ Stress shall be give on three‐ dimensional studies through sketch perspectives and models

� All Architectural Design Assignments and submissions shall lay emphasis on designing Earthquake

Resistant Structures, which will be worked out in consultation with the Teacher of Structures and

the Submission work will reflect various technologies adopted.

NOTE:

In order to have parity in nature and complexity of Design Projects it is Suggested that teachers from

all the Colleges teaching the subject of Architectural Design shall meet at the beginning of First and

Second Term and finalise broad outline of the subject topics, its extent and complexity and also the

submission requirements.
